Hampden Postal Facilities.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore American,
writing under date of January 21st, says: "The
petition of the citizens of Hampden, Baltimore
county, asking that their drug store postal station
be made ful-fedged carrier station was received
at the Postofice Department to-day, which will
hardly be acted upon this fiscal year, because
Hampden does not comply with the requirements
of the law in regard to the free delivery system.
If it was within the corporate limits of Baltimore,
then the subject could be Investigated, but as it
stands it is not and the other requirements of the
new law are not complied with; therefore, the
Postoffce Department is hardly likely to consider
the case lust vet"

a verdict of death from exposure. The remains
were inferred at the expense of the county.

Deer Creek and Susouehanna Railroad

The Belair Agis of last week says "Mr. Ed
ward C. Price, solicitor for the new Deer Creek
and Susquehanna Railroad, thinks that $50, 900 of
the capital stock of the railroad will be subscribed
to in few days. This amount must be taken be-
fore the directors can be elected. The company
will then be able to elect president and board Of
directors, who will have full power to act for the
company. These officers, however, can only act
as those interested give them the means. The
general interest felt in the road is attested by the
number of subscriptions. Mr.. Price reports that
nearly every one upon whom he has called has
subscribed something. This is good sign and
the surest indication of the ultimate of the
enterprise. But the people mostly interested do
not seem to be fully awake to the extent of their
interest in this matter. The subscriptions are said
to be small. This Deer Creek and Susquehanna
Railroad is home enterprise, designed to develop
the resources of one of the most enterprising and
attractive regions of the county or State, and its
projectors are among our oldest and most respect
ed citizens. They practical, energetic farmers
men whose record in business is guarantee that
they would not embark in any venturesome or
visionary scheme. They showed their faith in the
enterprise by subscribing literally to the stock,
the first day the books were opened, and those who
directly indirectly interested should, in JUS
tice to them, respond promptly to their call and
subscribe at once as much as they afford, each
taking into consideration the advantage this rail-
road would be to him."

Handsome Present for a Church.-St
Timothy's P. E. Church, Gainesville, is about to
receive an expensive steeple clock, present from
Mr.. William Sinclair, who resides near that place.
Some time ago Mr.. Sinclair expended $4,000 on
the interior decorations of the church and other
improvements. At the same time he conceived the
idea of putting fine clock in the steeple, and
Rev. 7. W. Punnett, rector of the church, went to
London last September and selected the style Of
clock, which cost several thousand dollars. 1t
was manufactured at once, and imported from
London December 30. The peculiarities of the
clock are the chimes which attached to it.
On the quarter of the hour the chimes play several
notes from bar of music, and strike the quarter
hour on another bell. At the half hour the chimes
play the same notes. with several more, and strike
the half hour. At the three quarter hour the notes
are still further continued, and at the hour the
chimes play the full bar of music The clock will
be placed in the side of the tower facing the pike
The chimes rung entirely by the clockwork
The question of duty on the clock is before Con-
gress, where an effort has been made to have it
admitted free, as has been done in a number of
cases of the same kind.

summons comes we may exchange the dying
struggle for the gories of the skies.
